Staying at Periyar House was a unique experience right in the heart of the wildlife reserve. The settings were rustic and beautiful, offering a real escape from modern life, though I did miss some of my usual comforts. The food was surprisingly tasty and plentiful, but the basic accommodation and limited activities in the evening made it a bit challenging after dark.

My stay at Periyar House was quite the adventure, nestled deep within the national park and far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The scenery was beautiful and it offered a real connection with nature, though the lack of creature comforts was noticeable for me. The meals were hearty and satisfying, but I found the dining options somewhat limited. Overall, it was an interesting experience that provided a great chance for a digital detox, even if two nights felt a bit too much without the usual amenities.

Staying at Periyar House was quite the adventure! It's nestled deep in the national park, offering a unique chance to immerse myself in nature, though getting there involved a bumpy 90-minute jeep ride. The accommodation was basic, which I expected, and while I loved the peaceful surroundings and the delicious, home-cooked meals, the lack of creature comforts like Wi-Fi and air conditioning was definitely noticeable. Overall, it was a nice experience, but I realized I enjoy a bit more comfort in my stays.
